Hanoi5 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Abstain. I wouldn't be defended 2♣. Maybe 2♣X, but not 2♣. Against 2♣X I'd lead a trump I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayin801 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 ♥A, though I doubt it matters much which red ace I start with. RHO may have tried harder to X with some heart length so the heart is less likely to set up tricks or provide dummy ruffs. And this is probably a gross over-analysis. If we were playing a 15-17 NT I would have opened 1NT. And I would have Xed 2♣ for takeout on this auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I lead the red card I forgot to put on the table the last round since I can't lead a 1NT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm surprised that everyone wants to double 2♣. Partner couldn't respond to 1♠, and he'll have another chance when 2♣ comes back to him. If I force him to play in two of a red-suit he's likely to have problems with ruffing his club losers. If partner doesn't bid anything voluntarily, I'm happy to defend 2♣ undoubled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with most part except we don't know yet if pd will have another chance (at least at 2 level). So if LHO raises to 3♣ and comes to us, we will have to scratch our head and wish we dbled the previous round. On the other hand, vs a pd who passed 1♠ initially, we need perfect cards to be missing something big, such as x xxxxxx QTx xxx I agree that when we DBL 2♣, this is the kind of hand we want our pd to have, rather than what he actually has most of the time. As u said he will bid with this if 2♣ comes to him anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
